Managing leaf rust in barley locations
Aims

To assess new and current varieties for thier tolerance to leaf rust.

Key messages
  • Severe leaf rust infections can cause yield losses of up to 26%.
  • Grain yield, straw strength, retention, screenings and test weight are all affected by leaf rust infection.
  • Growing resistant barley varieties significantly reduced the amount of leaf area affected by leaf rust as well as the associated grain yield quality.
